Re: [PhillyOnRails] OT: Books on Agile

What don't you like about the books you have. What are you wanting to read about in agile theory or practice.

I would like to see how others actually put Agile into practice. The source that Aaron pointed out seems like a good example of this. The books on my shelf, and the many of sources I've found online either mention the aesthetics of one's code, or generalized theories on how to run the project. There wasn't a lot of full frontal accounts about Agile 'from the trenches'.

What kind of enviroment are you wanting to create?

For the most part, I'm trying to do what, I suspect, everyone else is trying to do: improve the relationship they have with their customers. However, I'm primarily a solo developer, and an awful lot of articles on Agile target project managers and teams with a decent sized budget, and lots of meetings. Which means that I have to sort out what advice would still be useful, even after I agree with it.

Dave's Definitions: Morning, is after I've slept for more than four
hours. Lunch is the second meal of the day no matter the hour of
consumption. A long drive is one longer then you have last slept.
Ineffable, if you don't understand I couldn't possibly explain it.
